Hey everyone — HTML5 Boilerplate and HTML5 Reset are two HTML, CSS, and JavaScript templates with a lot of modern best practices built-in. Their goals are largely the same:

  • Fast, robust, modern Web development
  • HTML5 (duh!)
  • Cross-browser normalization (including support for IE6 and mobile browsers)
  • Progressive enhancement and graceful degradation
  • Performance optimizations
  • Not a framework, but the starting point for your next project

Obviously, they're very similar in function. In what ways are their implementations different (for example, perhaps IE-specific CSS fixes are achieved using different techniques)? Are they at all different in scope? It seems like HTML5 Boilerplate is a bit larger (build tools, server configuration, etc.), but it's hard to know where it goes beyond HTML5 Reset when it comes to the actual site that people will see.
